The current implementation of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE in BookE is based
on mapping the page aligned kernel load address to KERNELBASE. This
approach however is not enough for platforms, where the TLB page size
is large (e.g, 256M on 44x). So we are renaming the RELOCATABLE used
currently in BookE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART to reflect the actual method.
The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for PPC32(BookE) based on processing of the
dynamic relocations will be introduced in the later in the patch series.
This change would allow the use of the old method of RELOCATABLE for
platforms which can afford to enforce the page alignment (platforms with
smaller TLB size).
Changes since v3:
* Introduced a new config, NONSTATIC_KERNEL, to denote a kernel which is
either a RELOCATABLE or DYNAMIC_MEMSTART(Suggested by: Josh Boyer)

The minimum RMO size field in ibm,client-architecture is currently

We should bump it to at least 128MB, but considering all the boot

On machines supporting the OPAL firmware version 1, the system
is initially booted under pHyp. We then use a special hypercall
to verify if OPAL is available and if it is, we then trigger
a "takeover" which disables pHyp and loads the OPAL runtime
firmware, giving control to the kernel in hypervisor mode.
This patch add the necessary code to detect that the OPAL takeover
capability is present when running under PowerVM (aka pHyp) and
perform said takeover to get hypervisor control of the processor.
To perform the takeover, we must first use RTAS (within Open
Firmware runtime environment) to start all processors & threads,
in order to give control to OPAL on all of them. We then call
the takeover hypercall on everybody, OPAL will re-enter the kernel
main entry point passing it a flat device-tree.

firmware via the ibm,client-architecture call was set by a previous
patch statically as high as is possible (NR_CPUS).
However, that value isn't quite right for a system that supports
multiple threads per core, thus permitting the firmware to assign
more cores to a Linux partition than it can really cope with.

Commit 9b09c6d909 ("powerpc: Change the
default link address for pSeries zImage kernels") changed the
real-base value in the CHRP note added by the addnote program from
12MB to 32MB to give more space for Open Firmware to load the zImage.
(The real-base value says where we want OF to position itself in
memory.) However, this change was ineffective on most pSeries
machines, because the RPA note added by addnote has the "ignore me"
flag set to 1. This was intended to tell OF to ignore just the RPA
note, but has the side effect of also making OF ignore the CHRP note
(at least on most pSeries machines).
To solve this we have to set the "ignore me" flag to 0 in the RPA
note. (We can't just omit the RPA note because that is equivalent to
having an RPA note with default values, and the default values are not
what we want.) However, then we have to make sure the values in the
zImage's RPA note match up with the values that the kernel supplies
later in prom_init.c with either the ibm,client-architecture-support
call or the process-elf-header call in prom_send_capabilities().
So this sets the "ignore me" flag in the RPA note in addnote to 0, and
adjusts the RPA note values in addnote.c and in prom_init.c to be
consistent with each other and with the values in ibm_architecture_vec.
However, since the wrapper is independent of the kernel, this doesn't
ensure that the notes will stay consistent. To ensure that, this adds
code to addnote.c so that it can extract the kernel's RPA note from
the kernel binary and put that in the zImage. To that end, we put the
kernel's fake ELF header (which contains the kernel's RPA note) into
its own section, and arrange for wrapper to pull out that section with
objcopy and pass it to addnote, which then extracts the RPA note from
it and transfers it to the zImage.

This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as
a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set. This involves
processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of
booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at,
since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for
which there are dynamic relocations. (In fact the linker does fill in
such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables,
so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're
running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.)
The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr),
where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be
run. In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again
when starting the main kernel. This means that reloc_offset() returns
0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running
at), which necessitated a few adjustments.
This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is
simpler. With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are
constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and
KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet).
With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical
address 0 and run there.

This changes the way that the exception prologs transfer control to
the handlers in 64-bit kernels with the aim of making it possible to
have the prologs separate from the main body of the kernel. Now,
instead of computing the address of the handler by taking the top
32 bits of the paca address (to get the 0xc0000000........ part) and
ORing in something in the bottom 16 bits, we get the base address of
the kernel by doing a load from the paca and add an offset.
This also replaces an mfmsr and an ori to compute the MSR value for
the handler with a load from the paca. That makes it unnecessary to
have a separate version of EXCEPTION_PROLOG_PSERIES that forces 64-bit
mode.
We can no longer use a direct branches in the exception prolog code,
which means that the SLB miss handlers can't branch directly to
.slb_miss_realmode any more. Instead we have to compute the address
and do an indirect branch. This is conditional on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE;
for non-relocatable kernels we use a direct branch as before. (A later
change will allow CONFIG_RELOCATABLE to be set on 64-bit powerpc.)
Since the secondary CPUs on pSeries start execution in the first 0x100
bytes of real memory and then have to get to wherever the kernel is,
we can't use a direct branch to get there. Instead this changes
__secondary_hold_spinloop from a flag to a function pointer. When it
is set to a non-NULL value, the secondary CPUs jump to the function
pointed to by that value.
Finally this eliminates one code difference between 32-bit and 64-bit
by making __secondary_hold be the text address of the secondary CPU
spinloop rather than a function descriptor for it.

Fedora 9 works on Efika without the separate 'device-tree supplement',

still appears on the 'machine:' line in /proc/cpuinfo, the installer
misdetects the platform and misconfigures yaboot, putting it into a PReP
boot partition instead of in the /boot filesystem where the Efika's
firmware could find it.
The kernel's fixups for Efika already correct one instance of 'chrp', in
the 'device_type' property. This fixes it in the 'CODEGEN,description'

Prune back Efika fixups to only include changes that are actually required
to get a working system. Most of the drivers can accept the compatible
properties, even if they don't match the what is recommented in the generic
names recommended practice document.
This patch also adds extra checks so that fixups are not performed blindly.
Instead, the code first verifies that the device tree is faulty before
making any changes. This way, if the Efika firmware is updated to fix
these issues, then the fixups will no longer get applied.
At this point; here is the list of fixups needed for the efika:
1. If the device_type property on the root node is 'chrp', then Linux won't
boot. Change device_type to 'efika' to avoid this condition
2. Add full interrupt list to the bestcomm node. In actual fact, the
bestcomm interrupts property is technically correct, it just doesn't
expose the same granularity as the device driver expects. All other
5200 device trees provide a separate irq number for each bestcomm
channel. Rather than hack the driver, it's simpler to fix it up
3. /builtin/sound node is missing an interrupts property
4. /builtin/ethernet node is missing a phy-handle property and the
device driver doesn't know what to do without one.

A Power6 can give up CPU cycles on a dedicated CPU (as opposed to a
shared CPU) to other shared processors if the administrator asks for it
(via the HMC).
This enables that to work properly on P6.
This just involves setting a bit in the CAS structure as well as the
VPA. To donate cycles, a CPU has to have all SMT threads idle and
have the donate bit set in the VPA. Then call H_CEDE.
The reason why shared processors just aren't used is because dedicated
CPUs are guaranteed an actual processor, yet the system is still able to
increase the capacity of the shared CPU pool.
